I don’t lie online. I was almost ready to give up this morning, until I got my oxygen hooked up. Just make sure that getting dropzone to stop is equally hard. The above is concerning. Very glad that the oxygen is helping. ---

It must be double hard fighting the COVID and being in that place. \*\*Dropzone \*\*, (see I can be convinced, Mikey ;)) don’t give in. Keep fighting. We need you well. Everyone is pulling for you. Especially me, You’re my life-saver. ---

Yes, the ones that are bitching are holding their own. It’s the ones that get really quiet that you have to worry about. ---

I know. I was real quiet yesterday, then the stupid phone rang. I have the hatred of talking on the phone for free only a phone pro possesses, so there was something on which to focus my inchoate displeasure. ---

This is the last time I will post in this thread. I appreciate the love, like, and concern, but I’m stuck here in solitary for another week and a half. In that time nothing will change, and if it does you’ll hear from me or Beck or Tuba. Preferably from me. No need to worry SINCE I ALREADY BEAT THIS DAMNED DISEASE IN FEBRUARY!!! I just wasn’t tested until now. So thanks, I’ll see you around. 😃 ---

We should have Beck bake you a cake with a file hidden in it, so you can make good your escape. 😃 ---

You know, there are times in a person’s life where you realize your ‘thoughtful helping’ is in fact, not helpful at all. It comes slower to me. I’m pollyannish about such things. **Dropzone** , I’m sorry if you’re embarrassed. And I apologize if I’m the cause of that. I happen to believe you’re worthy of the love and concern of your fellow Dopers. Your friends. I’ll not post in this thread anymore, either. I will report it myself and ask it be closed. Again I’m sorry. ☹ ---

Dropzone, you said this to me once: “Use your wheels, it is what they are for.” By that I mean, godspeed, best of luck, I’m pulling for you. ---
